Demystifying Property Assessment

Your questions, our answers

Clarifications on key points of municipal assessment contestation.

Can tenants contest?

Contest before selling?

Impact on relations with the City?

Will it take a lot of time?

Yes. The Municipal Taxation Act authorizes a tenant to contest the value of the property for which they pay taxes, by notifying the owner.

No. A serious buyer considers the municipal value as the basis for calculating property taxes, not as a market value indicator. Reducing taxes is an advantage.

No. Requesting a revision is a legal right. Our objective is always an amicable agreement with the municipal assessor.

No. We handle all steps: forms, estimates, negotiations, follow-ups. You only need to sign the initial request.
